WAUSAU — U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wausau, will hold the first town hall meetings of his new term in office this week.

At these meetings, Duffy hopes to hear about “important issues on the minds of Wisconsinites,” according to a statement from his office. They are open to his constituents.

He represents Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, which covers much of the central and northern parts of the state, including Oneida, Lincoln, Vilas, Florence and Forest counties. The town halls will take place in those five counties Thursday and Friday.

Duffy was elected in November to this third term in the U.S. House of Representatives. The session began earlier this month.
